THE FINNS PARTY has re-established itself as the fifth most popular political party in Finland, confirms the latest opinion poll commissioned by Helsingin Sanomat.
The newspaper wrote yesterday that voter support for the populist, right-wing opposition party jumped by 1.3 percentage points to 9.7 per cent between December and January. The Left Alliance, by contrast, saw its popularity dwindle by 0.2 percentage points to 9.4 per cent.
The Social Democratic Party, the poll also shows, retained its position as the most supported party in the country, despite seeing its popularity drop by 0.5 percentage points to 20.9 per cent. The National Coalition consequently crept closer to the opposition party, even though its remained in the mid-to-high 19s since last September.
